Welcome to the June Potato Ho-Down. Boring intro, I know but yesterday I was on the phone to one sister and when she asked about some plans, I told her "Let me just get through today and I'll let you know." Then I was on the phone with the other sister and said,"I'm sick of talking now so I'm hanging up." Rude, yes... but lately with everything going on there is no room for creativity. So this month I'm going to do something different. I'm going to ask those tough hard hitting potato questions, just think of it as a Barbara Walter's interview.

If you had to choose between tomatoes or potatoes, which would you choose?

I took a classic potato pancake recipe; simply added some cheese and bacon, baked until brown and crispy on top and nice and moist inside. Top it off with a nice spoonful of sour cream and some snipped chives and you’re good to go!

I only picked a little cheese and bacon off the top for myself and my son and hubby devoured the rest! So, I guess you could say that it was a hit.

If you had to choose between tomatoes or potatoes, which would you choose? Death. I can't live without either.

If you had to choose only one way to have your potatoes cooked for the rest of your entire life, which way would you have your potatoes? Baked (seriously!)

What potato dish do you think is God's and/or Satan's favorite? God loves her some garlic mashed potatoes and Satan loves his potatoes boiled. (he does!)

If you had to choose between Thomas Keller or Daniel Boulud cooking you a dish with potatoes, which chef would you choose? Keller hands down. Did you see the swan cookies he made for the Girl Scout judges on Top Chef Masters? Swoon.

If you were going to die tomorrow, what would be your last potato dish? Green chili cheese fries with bacon. A double helping.
